Spotprent 1878

"Spotprent" is a satirical cartoon created by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans in 1878. The print features a group of individuals holding signs that represent different countries and their leaders, seemingly engaged in a chaotic exchange. The humorous use of caricature and symbolic imagery likely reflects the political climate of the time, using wit to comment on current events. The small dimensions of the artwork, 275mm by 215mm, suggest it was intended for personal viewing or publication in a newspaper or magazine.
